    Value for 9.8 mercury

    You will be lucky to get 400 for it. starter motors are nolonger available for th 9.8 as are some other parts. The longer shaft really limits who will buy it.

    Check Farm Supply stores, Orschliens, Tractor Supply etc and google Redneck trails, they sell parts retail and wholesale. They are a large parts place with several locations. but replacing the axles can be pretty easy on most trailers. Maybe even check for someone close by that builds small...

    Capacity and h.p. plate

    Check your regs on homebuilt boats. States are different. In my state if its an older boat that does not require liability insurance the regs get really loose. You may be able to reg it as homebuilt.
